Boxwood tree is a common ornamental plant. It can be used for landscape decoration, gardening, bonsai and other purposes. However, due to the limitations of the growing environment of boxwood trees, many people mistakenly believe that boxwood trees can only be planted in the southern region. In fact, as long as certain planting skills are mastered, boxwood trees can also grow well in the northern region. Below, let's take a detailed look at the relevant knowledge of planting boxwood trees in the north.
1. Boxus trees in suitable planting areas prefer a warm and humid climate and have low requirements on soil, but require good drainage. In the northern region, boxwood trees are suitable for planting in coastal areas, such as Liaoning, Shandong, Tianjin and other places.
2. Purchasing high-quality seedlings When purchasing boxwood seedlings, you should pay attention to whether the appearance of the seedlings is neat, whether the root system is developed, whether the leaves are full, and whether the seedlings have pests and diseases. It is best to purchase seedlings with growth guarantees, such as seedlings with green plant protection certificates.
3. Soil improvement The soil in the northern region is relatively dry, and boxwood trees need sufficient water supply during their growth. Soil improvement is an important part of the planting of boxwood trees in the north. In soil improvement, leged leaf soil, decomposed farm manure, sand, etc. can be added to enhance the soil's water-retaining ability.
4. Cultivation methods When planting boxwood trees in the northern region, attention should be paid to timely watering, shading and other methods to adapt to the dry and cold climate in the north. At the same time, attention should also be paid to work such as fertilization and pruning to promote tree growth.
5. Light and temperature Boxwood trees are light-loving plants and require sufficient sunshine to grow normally. However, in the northern region, the summer sun is too strong and proper shade is needed. In addition, boxwood trees are also sensitive to temperature and require a suitable growth temperature of 15℃-28 ℃.
6. Watering Boxwood trees When planting in the north, we should develop the habit of watering them in time to keep the soil moist. However, be careful not to over-water to avoid causing root diseases.
7. Fertilization Boxus trees grow slowly and require appropriate fertilization to grow normally. Bio-organic fertilizers should be the main source of fertilization in the northern region, and fertilization should be carried out once a year in spring and autumn.
8. Pruning Boxwood trees need to be pruned regularly during the growth process to maintain their beautiful shape. The pruning time in northern China should be mainly in spring and autumn, and care should be taken not to over-prune to avoid affecting the growth of trees.
9. Insect and treat diseases. Boxus trees are also vulnerable to pests and diseases in the northern region. Pay attention to the growth of trees in ordinary times and take corresponding prevention and control measures in a timely manner, such as spraying pesticides and reasonable fertilization.
10. Wind protection and soil consolidation The wind force in the northern region is strong, which can easily cause trees to tilt or even fall. In order to avoid this, you can fix bamboo poles around the boxwood trees or lift iron frames to prevent the trees from being attacked by the wind.
11. Avoid excessive damage When planting boxwood trees in the north, pay attention to avoiding excessive damage, such as scratches on bark and cutting of trunks. Because these injuries can cause trees to fail to absorb water and nutrients normally, thus affecting tree growth.
12. Pay attention to safety When planting boxwood trees in the northern region, pay attention to safety to avoid causing harm to people and property. For example, attention should be paid to the lodging, falling leaves, etc. of trees, as well as to prevent the spread of tree diseases and insect pests.
13. Reasonable site selection When planting boxwood trees in the northern region, we must choose an appropriate location for planting, preferably in places with sufficient sunshine and low wind. In addition, the space needs after trees grow must also be considered to avoid affecting the surrounding environment and the use of buildings.
14. Regularly check When boxwood trees are planted in the northern region, the growth of the trees should be regularly checked, such as the color, shape, and trunk condition of the leaves. If abnormal conditions are found, corresponding measures must be taken in time to ensure the growth and health of trees.
15. Planting boxwood trees in the northern region is not difficult. As long as you master certain cultivation skills, boxwood trees can grow well in the north. During the planting process, we need to pay attention to various issues such as soil improvement, light and temperature, watering and fertilization, pruning, etc., as well as safety, insect prevention and disease treatment. Only in this way can our boxwood trees thrive in the northern region and bring us more beauty.
